Chapter 126 Reincarnation (16)

Li Wenshui sat on a chair next to the wooden table of the inn, holding a white porcelain cup in his slender white hands. The ordinary porcelain cup that could be found everywhere suddenly looked like an imperial item in the palace when he held it in his hands.

The sound of water splashing was heard in the room. Li Wenshui tightened his grip on the porcelain cup. Then he tilted his head back and drank up the tea in the cup. This was the fifth cup of tea he had drunk within an incense stick of time.

After putting the teacup down, Li Wenshui filled it up again. Today's tea didn't seem to quench his thirst at all. Li Wenshui only felt his throat was dry.

The slight sound of fabric rubbing against each other reached Li Wenshui's ears, and he drank the water in the cup again.

"If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be startled even if the sky falls.

No matter how much changes, the mind remains calm and peaceful.

Not stained by dust and not contaminated by worldly things.

The void is peaceful and empty, with nothing in it.

Nothingness gives rise to each other, difficulty and ease complement each other..."

Li Wenshui silently recited the Qingxin Jue in his heart, but his mind was not here at all. Instead, he was attracted by Chen Ye who was bathing.

He shook his head, forcing himself to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts.

If you don’t want Chen Ye to get hurt, don’t get close to him, Li Wenshui told himself in his heart.

These words were much more useful than the Qingxin Jue, and Li Wenshui's heart instantly turned cold.

After getting dressed, Chen Ye came out from behind the screen and said to Li Wenshui, "Do you want to take a bath? I'll ask the waiter to change the water."

Li Wenshui said: "No need, I have already used the body cleansing technique."

Chen was also a little disappointed, as he also wanted to see what Li Wenshui's figure was like.

"Then go to bed, it's getting late."

Li Wenshui sat steadily, "You go to sleep, I will meditate tonight."

Chen Ye had already walked to the bed, but he turned back and sat next to Li Wenshui, staring at Li Wenshui quietly with his amber eyes.

"Why? Are you worried about what I might do to you? Just because I expressed my feelings to you today?"

Li Wenshui turned his head away from her gaze and said, "No, I just want to practice."

Chen Ye stretched out his hand and tapped Li Wenshui's chest, "The night is long, it would be boring to practice alone."

Because the distance was very close, Li Wenshui smelled the fragrance on Chen Ye. The fragrance made him dazed for a moment and his defenses became fragile.

He knew that he and Chen Ye didn't have much time left to be together, which was why he didn't chase Chen Ye away. He just wanted to have more memories with Chen Ye before he died, and it would be good to be able to be with him for a moment longer.

Li Wenshui immediately grasped Chen Ye's wrist, then stood up and said, "You should take a rest first. I still need to meditate."

Li Wenshui pulled Chen Ye, pushed him onto the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Then he blew out the candles in the room, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Chen Ye:?

He began to doubt whether Li Wenshui was not capable, otherwise how could he remain calm? Even though he had taken the initiative, Li Wenshui still acted as if he was just a friend, an ignorant younger brother.

When it was daybreak, they returned home.

They were lucky enough that Qingyangzi didn't notice that they had sneaked down the mountain.

However, in order to bribe Zhang Zuishan, Chen reluctantly gave away two bags of candied fruits.

That day, Chen Ye accidentally found a portrait in the house. In the painting, he was in the form of a fox, lying on his back with a lazy and impatient look on his face.

Chen couldn't help but smile, and after Li Wenshui entered the room, Chen took the painting to him.

"Why do you put this painting under the bookcase?"

Li Wenshui's gaze lingered on the painting for a moment. "I put it away before because I was afraid that Master would find it."

Chen Ye said, "Please draw me another picture of me now."

Li Wenshui hesitated for two seconds and then nodded, "Then let's go outside. The magnolias are blooming outside, so we can paint them in together."

Magnolia flowers are in full bloom, dotted across the branches.

Under the tree, Chen Ye, wearing yellow clothes, was standing with a smile on his face, watching Li Wenshui painting.

The clothes were bought by Chen Yexin when he came down the mountain. He always wore white, but on a whim he bought a yellow dress.

The white clothes made him look pure and innocent, while the bright yellow made him look more elegant and down-to-earth, like a young man from a wealthy family who was born and raised in a beautiful environment.

"Are you okay?" Chen Ye asked, patting his sore legs.

Li Wenshui looked up and said, "Okay."

Chen Ye walked to Li Wenshui's side, put his hand on Li Wenshui's shoulder, and put most of his strength on Li Wenshui, "Let me see."

Li Wenshui's body stiffened, and the hand holding the brush trembled slightly.

"It's a great painting." Chen Ye praised it generously.

I'm afraid that even the painters in the palace can't compare to Li Wenshui's painting skills.

Chen Ye went into the room and took out Li Wenshui's seal, and he stamped the painting with the seal.

Chen Ye blew on the drawing paper and said, "You're giving me this painting?"

"This is for you." Li Wenshui put the brush away and nodded.

Chen Ye stared at the painting for a while, "There's such a large empty space here, how about you draw yourself next to me?"

Li Wenshui refused at first, but couldn't bear Chen Ye's nagging, so he picked up the pen and drew himself next to it.

After putting the painting away with satisfaction, Chen Ye said, "Since you gave me the painting, how about I paint one for you as well?"

Li Wenshui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can you paint?"

"Of course," Chen Ye smiled slyly, "but I may not be able to draw as well as you."

He had learned sketching before and his drawing skills were pretty good. He had never learned Chinese painting, but Chen also felt that he could do it!

Chen Ye asked Li Wenshui to stand under the magnolia tree, then picked up the brush and began to think about how to start writing.

Half an hour later, a "masterpiece" was born.

Looking at the dark and blurry thing that Chen Ye had drawn that barely showed a human shape, Li Wenshui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Ye felt a little embarrassed, "Forget it, I'll throw it away."

Li Wenshui reached out to stop Chen Ye, "No need to throw it away. Since the painting is of me, just give it to me."

"You really want it?"

Li Wenshui put the painting away, and he curled his lips and chuckled, "You can take it out and appreciate it when you are bored in the future.

After saying that, Li Wenshui laughed out loud, and Chen couldn't help but laugh too.

But after a while, Li Wenshui regained his composure because he had no future.

A faint sadness enveloped Li Wenshui's heart. He felt that it was time for him to let Chen Ye leave. Otherwise, after a long time, he might waver and take Chen Ye with him into the abyss of pain.

Li Wenshui put the painting away and put it into his sleeve, planning to bring up the matter at night. The atmosphere at the moment was too good and he couldn't bear to ruin it.

Just let yourself indulge yourself once more and spend one more day with Chen Ye.

Despite Li Wenshui's reluctance, the sun still set and the whole mountain was shrouded in darkness.

Chen Ye covered himself with a quilt and told Li Wenshui about the storybook he had read today.

"I'm reading a story about a snake demon and a human. The snake demon fell in love with the human and finally lived in seclusion in the mountains with the human. But guess what, the human got tired of life in the mountains and betrayed the snake demon. Li Wenshui, don't you find life here boring?"

Li Wenshui listened to his words and thought about it seriously, "No, you think it's boring?"

Chen Ye immediately said, "I feel good having you here."

【Favorability +2】

As his favorability increased, Chen Ye thought Li Wenshui would say something, but Li Wenshui remained silent for a long time.

When Chen Yao was about to speak again, Li Wenshui spoke up, "Your injuries have all healed. You can leave in the next two days."
